They are trying to do this simultaneously with the close of the merger with Weatherford. Mark and I met with the CEO (Steve Schneider) and CFO (Ernie Danner) prior to the holidays to discuss this a little further as well as a broader alliance between Enron and Universal to chase electric horsepower deals. Universal is comfortable with Enron having somebody like Hanover as a back-up to be called upon should Enron be called to fulfill it's role and even with a spread, so long as Hanover does not "see" Universal and vice-versa. Suggested stand-by fee of $150,000-$200,000/yr. has been casually thrown out. Please review the attached document and let's discuss further - perhaps tomorrow morning. I talked with Steve Schneider yesterday and he told me that Ernie Danner would be getting with me today regarding a confidentiality agreement regarding this deal as well as a potential marketing alliance, which we would like to discuss further with you as well. Give me a call when you get a chance and we'll set something up. Thanks, Chris You will find attached a copy of an agreement that has been forwarded to us regarding ----- Forwarded by Chris Hilgert/HOU/ECT on 01/04/2001 10:16 AM ----- Tim Proffitt 12/14/2000 08:03 PM To: Chris Hilgert/HOU/ECT@ect cc: Subject: Secondary Service Provider - Contract Don't know if I ever sent you this, but here is an electronic copy of this.
